The 12th edition of the BAFF - Barcelona Asian Film Festival - will be taking place from 30th April to 9th May.

Aproductions is currently in charge of the TurEspaña photo campaign. Part one was shot by Norwegian photographer Erik Almas, who recently joined the team, while the second part is being shot over two months by Argentine photographer and director, Ale Burset. The overall campaign is made up of many sections that will be published worldwide across all media formats over the next two years.

"Kids will be kids," as is shown in the latest spot from Persil completed by Team Works Production and UK-based agency BBH. A sunny afternoon in Madrid, six truck-loads of dirt, perimeter fencing surrounding a playing field and a couple of goal posts were the main ingredients for this 35mm film. With over 300 children and a random selection of extras cast, multi-award winning director Tony Barry guided the production to a successful end result in only two days.

With the advent of CGI technology the emphasis is more than ever on finding exciting locations. Sonda rose to the challenge together with photographer Willie von Recklinghausen and Saatchi and Saatchi for the new Toyota Landcruiser campaign. The team travelled to Chile and Bolivia to shoot in breathtaking landscapes at an altitude of 4000 m above sea level.

Barcelona football star Leo Messi was chosen to front the new Konami PES2010 campaign that saw Sonda working together with photographer Hamish Brown, director Rob Kaplan and the Frontroom agency.
